This morning when I got the notification it was downloading, lemmy.world was straight up down. Whether it's true or not, I'm saying it was Sync's release and the flood of new users.

Starting using sync today, loving it so far
Personally, RIF was still kind of working for me until today. I opened up lemmy and the first post I saw was the release of the Sync app lol

It's more active every day.
I've definitely used Lemmy more than previously today.
Oh heck yeah. This looks great!
Must be coincidental. Sync can't create posts yet however a lot of popular reddit client ports have been released since.
Additionally a lot of subreddits claimed official instances / communities. Glad to see things looking more lively though, I've been getting so frustrated with the official reddit app.
Yeah but it's mostly people talking about Sync...
Me a 13 year redditor and just browse with a regular web browser like an old man. You can keep the apps.
I'm be honest though, most of the chatter I've seen has been people dunking on sync because of it's subscription model and very high lifetime price

It's like I've gone from using a promising alpha for a Reddit replacement to a near-finished product. I love it.
I just created my account on Lemmy now Sync is here (yay, notifications).
Also! The sign up page was rather slow, so I suppose many people are signing up right now.
Also!! Reddit was/is having service outages again.
Ive been here since July 1st.....Seeing 250 comments on a post and almost 1300 up whatever theyre called lol, this shits finally taking off...LETS GOOO..I loved liftoff but im sorry to say sync is just, well amazing and seamless.

Well I'm here, I couldn't even log in using the other apps. Lemmy is confusing for me at the moment. Sync however made it able for me to log in, view topics that interest me.
Sync brought me here as well. I guess I just needed a familiar on ramp
It's not necessarily more active but its more convenient to browse now.
I signed up for Lemmy but I didn't really enjoy a lot of the apps out. Now that Sync is here I am 100% here now.
I am really loving sync, and I just got it 2 hours ago. I'm fully ditching reddit
I love Lemmys existence, I am devoted to Sync. The release guarantees I will be active daily moving forward.
No I'm here now so it's more active. I just came today so you guys are in for a treat
I'm definitely going to be using it more often. The official Reddit app is so bad that Sync being for something else is enough to make me move.
I couldn't stand the mobile web UI, but now it just feels like a younger, newer version of Reddit
I've spent countless hours on reddit on the reddit sync
I used lemmy fairly little because on mobile, the experience wasn't great.
Glad it's back. I'll probably be more active because of it ngl.
Also there's Infinity for Reddit.
